AI Discovery & Readiness Review

Know what you have before you decide what to buy.

Most organisations do not have no AI. They have unmanaged AI.

Employees adopt tools independently. AI functionality appears inside existing software. Subscriptions creep onto expenses. Company information gets entered into systems management may never have approved. Meanwhile, businesses often pay for AI licences that are barely used while missing opportunities where AI could genuinely improve productivity.

What we discover

• What AI tools are actually in use — approved and shadow
• Who is using them and for which business processes
• What company and customer data is being exposed
• What AI costs the business in total
• Duplicate and unnecessary subscriptions
• Licence adoption levels
• AI acceptable-use policy and governance maturity
• Microsoft 365 and Copilot readiness
• Processes suitable for AI assistance and automation

What you receive

• AI estate inventory
• Risk and gap summary
• Cost and waste findings
• Governance maturity assessment
• Prioritised opportunities
• AI roadmap with "do now / plan / monitor / do not spend" categorisation

Scope, timing and price

This is a focused, fixed-scope advisory engagement. Most reviews are completed within 1–2 weeks of the discovery call, depending on the size of the organisation, number of systems and availability of information.

The process is: discovery call, review, written report and follow-up management discussion. We provide a fixed fee after the initial call and agreed scope, with no commitment to implementation work.

A recommendation to take no action remains a valid outcome where the evidence supports it. Book a discovery call to get a clear scope and price.
